button
Minimize/restore Collapses track to minumum possible height, or restores it to the size
track button it was before it was minimized.
Maximize/restore Expands track to maximum possible height, or restores it to the size
track button it was before it was maximized.
Vol (volume) The current volume level for the track, ranging from -INF (silent) to
+6 dB (maximum volume).
Pan The stereo distribution of the output, ranging from 100% left (hard
left) to 100% right (hard right); a value of "C" indicates sound that is
centered left-to-right. On stereo tracks, pan acts as balance.
Trim (volume trim) Volume Trim is a pre-fader control which allows the fine tuning of a
single track's volume.
For example, let's say you have four tracks, three tracks have their
volume fader set to 0 dB while the fourth track's fader is set to +10
dB. You want to group the faders and do a slow fade out, but the
slightly higher level of the fourth track causes its volume to be higher
in relation to the other tracks towards the end of the fade out. To
balance the fader levels, reduce the fader level for the fourth track to
0 dB and raise the Volume Trim value for that track to +10 dB. The
resulting volume levels for the project are the same, but now you can
group the faders and perform a fade out with no track standing out
disproportionately at the end of the fade out.
Input The input source for the track, used in recording
Output The output bus through which the track is played
Send Enable Activates a send module, which sends a copy of the track signal to a
bus.
Send Level Controls volume of audio data sent by this send module..
Send Pan Adjusts the send pan setting.
Send Pre/Post Pre (pre-fader) means that the Send signal goes to the bus prior to
switch the track's volume fader; post means the Send signal goes to the
bus after the volume fader.
Send destination Displays name of bus that the Send is sending data to.
Mono/Stereo A switch that determines whether a track's signal enters an effect or
chain of effects as mono or stereo, regardless of the nature of the
track.
Phase In/Out A switch that inverts the phase of the track.
Effects bin The patch point for a track's plug-ins or soft synths.
Meters The recording and playback levels are displayed in the Playback and
Record meters.
